So when a company does a reverse split, it is looking mathematically at the market capitalization before and after the reverse split takes place, and concluding that if the market capitilization remains stable, the reduced share count should result in a higher price per share. Stock exchanges also tend to look at per-share price, setting a lower limit for listing eligibility. The $5 and $10 pricepoints tend to be important in this regard. This can be important because, for example, certain types of mutual funds might have a limit governing which stocks they may buy, based upon per-share price.

This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business.
